Northern Lighting

Northern Lighting was founded in 2005, and has since established itself as a small dynamic Nordic

company specialising in the design and manufacture of lights. We present designer lamps and lights

for different moods that are inspired by the unique Nordic nature, our culture and society and the

very special natural light surrounding us. Northern Lighting is a commercial hub for designers.

The people who make our lamps include both young up-and-coming talents and recognised

designers. Despite their different levels of experience, our designers have one thing in

common: they are fiery souls who are fascinated by the mood-creating possibilities of light.

Evergreen (Design 2010)

Evergreen is a collection of height adjustable pendant

lamps. In designing this new contemporary series, Vibeke

Skar and Jens Praet refer strongly to industrial evergreen

elements -creating a new light medium that emphasises

the golden age of global industrialisation and the beauty

of forgotten classic design icons.

Evergreen consists of a series of lamps of different sizes,

available in either black or white. The mouth blown glass

lampshades are sandblasted, creating a diffuse kind of

transparency. The iconographic hanging system consists

of pulleys that are used to adjust the height, and a wall

fastener for the lamp and its cable. A ceiling socket is

supplied as a hanging option. The accessories are

made from satinised nickel.

Evergreen creates a dynamic yet highly functional light

experience, featuring an iconic design that suits almost

every kind of space.

Diva (Design 2009)

Diva is a set of wood laminated floor and pendant light

sculptures. By making a contemporary light object the two

young designers, Thomas and Peter, wanted to pay their

respect to the proud Norwegian heritage of wood lamination

craftsmanship, and at the same time challenge or reinvent

how this material can be used.

Diva’s strong yet soft and almost feminine character

emerged from experimenting with different curve codes,

from which two distinct sets of patterns occurred. The lamp’s

outer frame consists of a set of thirty two gently curving

walnut or oak laminated plywood slices set around two

wooden cylinders. The inner parts consist of a slim metal

stem supporting a solid mouth blown frosted glass globe.

The floor lamp’s outer frame can be turned in two directions,

creating two different sculptures.

Diva creates a warm yet dynamic atmosphere when it

is turned on, and when off it remains an essential and

uniquely aesthetic décor object in any room.

Nova (Design 2007/2008)

Nova is a pendant lamp series at the interface between

light design, handcraft and art. the mouth blown shade

of the lamp is made out of three layers of glass, transparent,

white, transparent. Nova consists of three different lamp

models each of which has an individually formed pattern

of transparent glass pieces added manually to each lamp

after the main body was blown. every lamp is unique as

a result of this manual pattern making. the lamp series

also has an innovative and patented hanging solution,

which makes it easy to change the bulb even for

a novice.

the Nova series is inspired by the dusky light from the

stars seen in the Nordic sky on a clear night. thus, the

Nova series consists of three round light stars: ophelia,

callisto and Miranda. Nova emits an even and soft interior

light regardless of bulb type used. the lamps are suited

for public and private interior spaces, and become

interesting objects of art in a room even when

the light is switched off.

Designer: Anu Moser

Anu Moser (born 1945) is a highly recognized swedish

ceramic artist and product innovator. she lives and works on

the small Island of Donsö outside gothenburg, where

ocean and sky become central natural elements of

inspiration in her design. Her works have been presented

around the world in a great number of exhibitions. the

mixture of innovative function and the aesthetic features

of simplicity, harmony, softness and yet strictness in form,

are repetitive themes in her design. During recent years

Anu has focused her attention on the combination of

lighting design and art. Among her famous and credited

previous work is the Moser pendant designed for

Louis Poulsen Lighting, Denmark in 2001/02.

the creative process of arts and crafts has always played

an essential role in my life. I have been drawing and

painting as long as I can remember, and I started with

ceramics when I was 15. During recent years light design,

optimal illumination and glass have become a great

fascination for me to work with. the idea behind the

Nova series has been to use advanced glass techniques

of the finest quality glass to create a group of playful,

beautiful and contemporary “flying light stars”. the idea

of the hanging solution came to me while working in the

woods where I noticed a claw like tool used for grabbing

timber. this inspired me to create this industrial looking

detail of functional innovation from the same basic

concept.“

Moo (Design 2008)

Moo is a full scale wall–mounted Norwegian light

moose head. Moo may be used both for indoor and

outdoor decoration purposes. The figuratively shaped

lamp body is made of poly–resin material, which gives

a smooth and transparent flow of light. The bulbs placed

inside the horns add an extra element of soft, sparkling

and translucent light effect to the lamp.

The inspiration behind the Moo lamp was found in northern

Norway, –in the breathtaking scenery of Hamarøy, where

both of the designers have summer houses. Here the

moose is frequently seen passing close to the houses

and even over the lawns. The designers hope Moo will

stand out as a post–modern kitch trophy, making the

viewer smile happily as they recognize this “king of

the Norwegian forest”.

Illusion (Design 2010)

Illusion combines the functional elements of light and

a table. It hovers above the ground, challenging our

perceptions of gravity and our idea of two common pieces

of furniture, offering the elements of surprise and magic.

Combined in one, the lamp and table become the focal

point of any space, whilst providing a place for your

cocktail or your keys. Illusion was inspired by the wonders

of the scandinavian natural landscape. In particular

kjæragbolten, a large rock hovering in the crevice of

a mountain above Lysefjorden in rogaland, norway.

Dokka (Design 1954)

Dokka is a small pendant light with a clean profile. it

is a genuine piece of european post war design history:

in 1954 this functional light icon was the first norwegian

lamp ever to be awarded the highly regarded Golden

medal at the milan triennale. the lamp, also known

as “pendel s/10053”, was produced and sold by the

norwegian electricity company sönnico (oslo) for many

years. Dokka became one of the best selling norwegian

pendant lamps ever produced, until the day sönnico closed

down its lighting production and sales of the lamp came

to an abrupt end. in 2007 northern lighting decided to

relaunch this design classic, taking care to preserve

the main shape and features that originally made

it such a well–loved light.

Designer: Birger Dahl

Birger Dahl (1916–1998) was born in moss, norway

and is considered one of scandinavia’s leading post–war

interior architects. He was educated at the norwegian

national school of Arts and crafts (sHks) in oslo, and was

one of the first students to be supervised and guided by

Arne korsmo. in 1947 Dahl became teacher at sHks and

in the period from 1945 to 1957 he also worked as chief

designer for sönnico (oslo). the key aspects of his work

and design philosophy are the promotion of lighting as

honest, logical and functional. the light object must

always reach complete harmony with its surrounding

humans and architecture.

Bender

“Bender rises seemingly impossibly from the floor,

bending its way from the wall socket to the lampshade”

Morten Kildahl (Designer)

Bender (Design 2008)

Bender is a large floor decor lamp that also works well

as a reading lamp. the organic shape of the lamp starts

at the floor with the textile wire going from the wall

socket towards the lamp base. From there the base bends

and curves its way up from the floor, all the way up to

the lampshade. the oversized shade element gives the

lamp its recognizable personality and creates a large

and focused spotlight. Bender has a matt powder coating

that gives the aluminium and steel surfaces a warm

touch and sophisticated look. the lampshade is fully

adjustable in all directions, making it well suited for

a comfortable and illuminated reading experience.

Bender is inspired by the often overlooked, but

indispensable, workhorse of plumbing: the humble pipe.

Bender grew out of a desire to utilize one of the simplest

elements of production while still creating a lamp with

personality and humour.

wood ––basic and eco friendly Nordic materials–– that

are used for the shade and the body respectively.

Big Mama represents more t han simple illumination of

space. Big Mama does light up a room, but at the same

time it gives the space character and personality. its

shape tells us intuitively more about its function. simple,

direct… with its iconic and super classical shape, there

is no doubt this is a lamp. And yet at the same time the

strong, dominant and sculptural character of the object

resembles that of an item which does not need to possess

a mere function in order to justify its existence.

Big Mama lights up a space with a strong, clear, yet

warm and mood–creating light.

Butterfly is a small wall lamp designed in 1964 for

Høvik Lys and later produced by arnold vik, norway.

In 2008 northern Lighting decided to relaunch this

combination of simplicity of form and its well preserved

indirect method of exposing light, creating a bright and

yet warm atmosphere. It looks simple, but is elegant

and decorative as a single item, and is even more so

when several are combined in vertical or horizontal

groups.

Designer: Rudi O. Wulff

Rudi O. Wulff was born in suburban Oslo in 1983. His

educational background is from product development

and design studies in Oslo and Valencia.

as a product developer, I try, through my products, to

be daring and innovative, but I always maintain rationality

in the back of my mind. Things should be challenging, but

also have a certain sense of reality. With the ceiling

lamp maze I have literally tried to place things on

the edge by allowing a large and complicated shade

to hang in a simple and light substructure. The result

is a new and stylish ceiling lamp which will suit most

rooms.”

Oslo Wood (Design 2006)

Oslo Wood is a studio lamp with a tripod base. the

shade includes a revolving shade piece, which gives

the possibility of exciting angles of light in the room.

the lamp gives an upward solid indirect lighting effect

as well as a warm and diffuse direct light via the shade.

Oslo Wood spreads light in the same way as seen in the

forests around Oslo. the beams of light become diffuse

upon passing through the shade, mimicking the contours

of city light illuminating the sky on a dark winter night,

filtered by the trees dominating the ground below. the

Oslo Wood lamp’s indirect upward lighting effect relates

to the somewhat stronger contours of light that reaches

above the treetops.

Designer: Ove Rogne

Ove Rogne is head of design in northern Lighting. He

was born far up north in the town of narvik, norway.

In Oslo Wood northern Lighting presents a contemporary

up–light floor lamp inspired by atelier and photoshoot

lighting equipment. It also incorporates inspirational

elements from the classical and popular tivoli lamp that

dominated scandinavian household living rooms for many

years. Decisions on form, function and materials for the

lamp have been an ‘art by accident’ type of process,

during which the design team spent hours and hours

experimenting at the factory floor R&D lab.”

Seed (Design 2007)

Seed is a wall–mounted night lamp. Seed creates

a unique reading environment through its filtered light

source from a low watt energy saving LeD. The focused,

yet soft, beam emitted from the diodes makes it possible

to read in bed while your partner sleeps. The ‘revolving

arm of light’ can point in a variety of different directions

and can be easily fixed to the wall in any desired position.

The front –end light switch makes it easy to turn the light

on and off and, since the lamp does not emit heat,

Seed is safe to touch, even by children.

Seed is available with four different colours of fabric.

The package also includes patterns, tips and suggestions

on how to create your own personalised cover. The lamp

is inspired by a seed–– rising and growing into a plant.

Hedda Heyerdahl Braathen is head designer in accendo,

an Oslo based industrial design office. She and her team

have won several awards for their designs. accendo works

with a variety of design projects, mainly related to lighting,

furniture design and consumer goods packaging.

With the Seed lamp i wanted to create an arm of light

which lets your partner sleep while you read, nurse or

knit. i also wanted to challenge users of the lamp to create

their own design element by changing the cover according

to their mood, the season, fashion trends or simply a

change of the bedcovers”.

Groggy

“The name Groggy relates to the slightly

oblique shape of this object, with a base

that almost falls over sideways, yet the

lamp remains in an upright position”

Tom Stepp (Designer)

Groggy (Design 2009)

Groggy is a funky, tiny, yet highly functional, floor

lamp. Both the simple lamp body and its fabric–covered

lampshade revolve, thus making it easy for the user to

direct and adjust the position of the light beam. Groggy

fits well next to a chair or a sofa and allows the user

plenty of space for the arm.

Groggy is a new addition to Tom Stepps’ Blueman

Collection of lighting and furniture designs. The Blueman

Collection consists of, and expands, the ideas and products

that Tom Stepp dreams of having in his own home, and

which he therefore creates for himself.

The name Groggy relates to the slightly oblique shape

of this object, with a base that almost falls over sideways,

yet the lamp remains in an upright position.

Berg

“The fascinating shapes of our great nature represent

elements of irregularity and structure – basic ideas

which I transformed into this design object”

Gerhard Berg (Designer)

BerG larGe PenDanT

98 Berg (Design 1967)

Through the lamp series Berg the designer Gerhard Berg

expresses nature’s richness of form and lack of regularity.

The Berg shade elements have a rectangular prism shape,

and are comprised of acrylic pieces placed together in

complex, irregular patterns, rich in contrast and depth.

The acrylic elements are formed in different heights.

The shapes are fragmented through sandblasted and

transparent acrylic pieces.

The Berg was originally made in 1967 by Gerhard Berg

for his own lounge.

Scheisse (Design 2008)

scheisse is a large pendant lamp. The lamp pays its

respect to the traditional incandescent light bulb, which,

with its warm light and good colour reflection, has given

light to our households for so many years. The classic

light bulb is one of man’s most important inventions.

Unfortunately this bulb is inefficient, which creates

challenges in our threatened environment. scheisse

is a blend of art and industrial design, an experiment

with light and shadow as well as positive and negative

shapes. scheisse creates a distinct shadow and sculpture

in its environment.

Wherever placed, scheisse will hopefully stand out as a

true icon for all light lovers.

Trond Svendgård is a highly awarded gourmet chef,

born in Rognan, norway.

as a chef you have to think about curves, forms, details,

colours, tastes, consistences and contrasts in each creation.

To use this “forced” creativity and artificial finesse in

other areas than cooking, is a great satisfaction to me.

as we chefs often use to say: “keep it simple”, the

simple is often the best. The Snowball lamp is a result

from this. Be my guest!”
